getting used to
Becoming accustomed to
Getting used to is the process of becoming accustomed to something through repeated exposure.
What initially feels strange, uncomfortable, or difficult gradually becomes normal or tolerable: I'm getting used to waking up early, It takes time to get used to a new city.
The phrase implies adaptation rather than preference—you may never like something but can learn to live with it.
